I played D&D 4e with a group of childhood friends for a few years in college. One of them was bipolar. Anyways we had been playing 4e for two years. New campaign. We were using character builder, which spat out our damage damage for us in the following notation:
X[w] + Stat
For those who don't know, 4e made use of "Powers" which are basically spells as you might think of how those function in 5e. Martial classes bought a weapon, which was a series of properties that carried over through out all your powers. That notates as [w], so the longsword has [w]= 1d8. Powers vary in how powerful they were. Each class has At-will, encounter, and Dailys... similar in function to short and long rest recharging abilities. My point is that encounters or dailys might do 2[w] or 3[w] or 4[w]. Use a longsword with Villain's Menace and its 3d8. Then add your strength.
He saw 1[d8] + 5
My friend rolled his damage. He saw the +5 noted for his strength, and then he forgot it was for that and added 5 again.
So he rolled 1d8 +5 +5
I told him he only added 5 once. This blossomed into an argument which carried on for an hour. He went home. And then the next day he sent me over 2000 words on facebooks in threats and death messages.
A week later, he messaged me again, and noted that I was right. He apologized. And then he told me I could have been less of an asshole.
Like, people used rely Rolodex's and calendars to remember phone numbers and birthdays, respectively. In other words, we used to write things down. When I left Facebook, I did literally go through their calendar and write down all my friends birthdays.
Navigation is a skill you have to learn. When I was an EMT, my FTO drilled the basics in to me. I can find my way to a city Ive never been, but I still use a GPS to find a specific place off the major cross streets. People used to give more advice with the destination, now they just say, "oh, come to this XXXX address place" because they assume youll be using a GPS, and the skill to describe "its off of this road" is both becoming lost, and a generational disconnect.
Not counting sugar? garlic powder or Cinnamon and vanilla. I use garlic powder to go with salt and pepper in a 7:2:1 ratio as like a base for everything from tuna salad to bean burritos. Thrice a week I make overnight oats with Vanilla extract and cinnamon.
Note my favorite is smoked paprika, I just know fewer recipes and synergistic flavors.
That implies he can play chess. I do see the logic, I could see someone wanting to sac a pawn. There are a lot of dumb theories about who could be playing Trump, like the Russians, or Thiel or whoever, so I don't want to speculate who
I think also that people watch a lot of simulated murders on TV, and they kind of don't know what its like to watch a person die. Like Tarantino will make geysers of blood look very cool, treehouse of horror makes explosions of organs funny, etc. The amount of blood, at least for that context, is some but in normal bounds. I would say the part that is pretty terrifying for me, is that there are small things, like the way he flops back, the way he's cut off... the simulations haven't prepared people for this.
In general, I hire caregivers for disabled people, and I'll give a job to anyone who will do it for what we pay (about 20/ hour). However, the people get a say in who gets hired, and a few times, they have chosen to hire beautiful women. They never last, mostly because its such an intimate position, (you're spending hours of your time one on one), and some of these people being cognitively impaired, they couldn't help but make it weird.
